Miss June, Angelique Noir


I had the most wonderful commission to do last month. The brief was quite open; to do a vintage 1950's inspired black pinup. The client was commissioning a number of artist from around the world, each with their own month of the year so he can have his own personal calendar art on his walls. I had Miss June. I chose to feature Angelique Noir as my muse and tried to create a candid holiday snap style piece. I used  watercolour, ink and gouache on the painting with a few touches of my new metallic and pearlescent gouaches to make the water reflect.
